How Soft Ionization Works
Let's review what soft ionization is and how it works to clean the air of pollutants.
Particles cluster
Positively and negatively charged ions cause airborne particles to cluster.
Particles caught
Filters catch the large particle clusters.
Pathogens inactivated
Oxygen Ions inactivate bacteria and viruses as they bond.
Odors neutralized
Oxygen ions neutralize odorous gases and aerosols in the process.
VOCs inactivated
Oxygen ions cause a reaction with VOCs breaking down their molecular structure.
Sunlight in our atmosphere produces a bioclimate rich in positive and negative oxygen ions. Soft ionization technology also creates this ion-rich climate. The negative ions contain an extra electron while the positive ions are missing an electron. The result is ions existing in an unstable condition.
In an effort to find balance, the polarized ions seek out atoms and molecules in the air who they can trade electrons with. This process neutralizes particulate matter, bacteria and virus cells, odorous gases and aerosols, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
What are oxygen ions?
Ions are molecules or atoms that contain an electrical charge and exist in nature in various sizes. Small ions only last between 30 and 300 seconds before losing their charge but are extremely active.
Ion densities range from 900 to 1,100 negative ions and 1,000 to 1,200 positive ions per cubic centimeter (ions/cm3) in pristine natural environments. At sea level, ion density is typically around 500 negative and 600 positive ions/cm3. In cities and inside buildings ion levels drop by 80% to 95% and can be barely detectable in small spaces.
As ion density decreases, so does the air quality. By increasing the quantity of both positively and negatively charged oxygen ions, air quality is improved. This is the basis of Plasma Air's bipolar ionization technology.
How does it work?
Watch the video to learn how bipolar ionization technology works. Within a home or building, our products continuously purify the air with negatively and positively charged oxygen ions.
How is it installed?
Plasma Air products use soft ionization, or bipolar ionization, technology, which produce oxygen ion molecules, essentially nature's way of cleaning the air.
The product mounts in the duct or at the blower housing.
These oxygen ion molecules circulate throughout the home or building's ductwork system, inactivating and reducing airborne pathogens and pollutants.
